Anxious we stand?

A majority of EU citizens, including 64% of Belgians, view Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an attack on their own region and support Ukrainians’ response, seeing them as defending not just themselves but freedom and prosperity across Europe. Two in three consider the world dangerous and less comfortable than in the past, yet those anxieties have little impact on their attitudes to confronting Russia. A year into the war, Belgians’ views are broadly in line with their neighbours’, if somewhat less ready to blame Moscow for the conflict.
